Jack Colback: 5. Booked. Was taken off four minutes after the restart after crunching Cattermole challenge. He then faced a long walk around the pitch with abuse ringing in his ears, a day to forget for Colback.

Cheick Tiote: 6. Competitive in the centre as Newcastle dominated the first half. Booked early on and was never likely to last the game. McClaren sacrificed him at half-time.

Moussa Sissoko: 7. Positive running from the Frenchman, was Newcastle's best player first half.

Georginio Wijnaldum: 7. Positive again from the in-form Dutchman. Had a few chances but couldn't convert. He found Pantilimon in great form. A bright spark for Newcastle though.

Ayoze Perez: 5. Poor. Quite first half, was bullied off the ball a few times. Grew into the game a little more.

Aleksander Mitrovic: 5. Sent one header wide first half, didn't impose himself on the game. Missed a glorious chance in the 55th minute.

Subs:

Jamal Lascelles (Tiote, 45): 5. Came on at the break, tough afternoon for the youngster.
